unless this partner has a regular partner to protect, no reason for them to seek out herpes testing.

2-20 days is the time frame on average that folks develop symptoms.

you need to be on daily suppressive therapy for 5 days before it's really working to reduce shedding.

a one time , mostly protected encounter is very low risk.
